C. The region’s water supply has been heavily polluted.

Explanation: The Middle East is water‑scarce, with most water used for agriculture (not industry), and access is unequal. Many surface and groundwater sources suffer from sewage, agricultural runoff, industrial waste, salinization and over‑extraction (e.g., Jordan River, parts of the Tigris–Euphrates basin, coastal aquifers), so pollution is a major problem.
